4 TIPS ON WOOD HEATING Wood is a renewable energy. It is also a very clean heat source when used with appliances that are certif ied by the U.S. Envi ronmental Pr otection Agency (EPA), a standard accepted in Canada as well. EPA-certified wood stoves are different than conventional wood stoves. Burning with an EPA- certified wood stove may t herefo[...]

5 SECTION 1.0 - INSTALLATION When installed and operated as described in these inst ructions, the Classic EPA wood stove is suitable for use as a freestanding wood stove in residential installa tions. The Classic EPA wood stove is not intended for installation in a bedroom or a mobile hom e. In Canada, the CSA B365 Installation Code for Solid Fuel [...]

6 Clearances to any combustibles when measured directly from the floor protector to the ceiling mu st be a minimum of 84" (2134 mm). Clearances to any combustible s when m easured directly from the front of the stove must be a minim um of 48" ( 1219 mm). The stove m ust also be placed so as to maintain the minimum clearances to combustibl[...]

7 1.3.1 Reduced clearances using shielding You may decrease the minim um clearances to combustib le m aterials by installing heat radiation shields between the walls or the ceiling and the stove. Those h eat radiation shields must be installed perm anently, and must be made of a heat-resistant or heat-tolerant m aterial. Note : Walls and ceiling on[...]

8 1.4 FLOOR PROTECTOR If the stove is to be installed on top of a combustible floor, it mu st be guarded by a non-combustible material extending a t least 18” (300mm) from t he front and 8” (200mm) from the sides and the back of the firebox., as shown in Figure 1.4 below. Please not e that a floor protection is re quired with the pedestal model[...]

9 SECTION 2.0 CHIMNEY (FLUE SYSTEM) 2.1 DEFINITIONS For clarity, the following definitions should be used with respect to these instructions: • A chimney system consists of a connector off the top of the stove, and a chimne y , which attaches to the connector and terminates outside the house. • A chimney can be a masonry chimney (of masonry con[...]

10 If you are using a masonry chimney, it is im portant that it be built in compliance w ith the specifications of the Building Code. It must be lined with fire clay bricks, or clay tiles, sealed together with fire cement, or h ave a listed solid fuel burning stainless steel liner. Round chimneys are the most efficient. The interior diameter of the[...]

11 FIGURE 2.2 Minimum Height of the Chimney 2.2.1 Step by step installation of your factory-built chimney The way to install your chimney may vary from one chimney manufacturer to another. The instructions contained in this manual are based on the recommendations of chimney manufacturers whose products are sold at many North American retaile rs of [...]

12 FIGURE 2.2.1 (A) Typical installation through the wall 1- Start by positioning your stov e where you would like it to go, taking into account the minimum clearances to combustible mater ial. You will then be able to determine where the chimney will pass through the wall. You will probably have to adj ust the stove position slightly to ensure tha[...]

13 2- Once the opening completed, y ou need to frame in the area to allow for the installation of a wall thimble. A wall thimble is not requir ed for installations through concrete walls. 3- You must first secure the wall thimble into t he exterior wall surface. Then, do the same inside and fasten the trim plate. 4- Then, from outside the building,[...]

14 5- You can now install the wall s upport. Simply slide the wall suppor t up to the tee, ensuring that the adapter on the support engages with the female coupler on the bottom of the tee.

Decorative fireplaces generally have larger, cooler, and less air-tight fireboxes. Your Drolet stove, on the other hand, has a smaller, completely sealed firebox which attains m uch higher temperatures. It is therefore n[...]

31 4.4 ASH REMOVAL USING THE ASH DRAWER C AUTION : ASHES CAN START FIRES , EVEN AFTER SEVERAL DAYS OF INACTIVITY . N EVER DISPOSE OF ASHES IN A COMBUSTIBLE CONTAINER . R EMOVE ASHES WHEN THE STOVE AND ASHES ARE COLD . Whenever the ashes get 3 – 4” (76 – 102 mm ) deep in the firebox, they should be emptied into the ash drawer, using the follow[...]

32 4.5 CHIMNEY (FLUE) CLEANING Regular chimney (flue) maintenance, as well as good bur ning practices, are required to prevent chim ney fires. When wood (especially green wood) is burned without ad equate heat or air supply, it produces tar and other organic vapours ( smoke ), which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapo[...]
